Description

SHOULDER STRAP PAD
This invention relates to shoulder strap pads, and more particularly to pads for shoulder bag straps.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Pads for shoulder bag straps are known but there still exists a need for pads which prevent the bag strap from slipping on the shoulder of the wearer, which is comfortable, as well as fashionable, and which can be quickly and easily adapted to match the bag being worn at the time.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The strap of a shoulder bag is supported on the shoulder of the wearer by the novel device of the invention comprising a non-slip base of flexible, soft material on which the strap rests, being covered by a leather cover which is connected to the base by snap fasteners adjacent the strap edges. A veneer which matches that of the bag is removably attached to the upper surface of the cover for convenient change as desired.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
FIG. 1 is a fragmentary perspective view of a shoulder strap pad embodying the invention in use; and
FIG. 2 is an enlarged exploded view showing the parts of the pad in perspective.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
As shown in FIG. 1, the shoulder strap pad 10 is worn by a person 12 to support the strap 14 of a bag 16 containing the wearer's pocketbook for example. Referring particularly to FIG. 2, the pad 10 comprises a flexible base 18, a flexible cover 20 connected to the base 18 by corresponding snap fasteners 22 and 24, and a removable veneer 25 attached to the cover 20.
The base 18 is composed of rubber, or plastic cushion, to support strap 14 comfortably on the wearer's shoulder 26, FIG. 1. The lower surface 28 of the base 18, FIG. 2, is corrugated or otherwise made to avoid slippage of the pad 10 on the wearer's apparel 30 on shoulder 26.
The cover 20 is made of leather, or other suitable material, and covers strap 14; the snaps 22, 24 being located adjacent the edges of the strap, near the runners of the pad 18 and cover 20.
The veneer 25 is made of similar or like material as that of the bag 16, and for such purpose is provided in different colors and effect for selection as desired.
The device 10 of the invention is easy to assemble; comfortable to wear; and quite fashionable in use; as well as secure on the shoulder of the person carrying the bag by virtue of the friction-gripping surface on the bottom of the pad.
